Migraine! If only I had money from all these, I’d be rich. From age 16-59 multiple migraines a year and usually quite a lot more than that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today I woke up after 3am, not sure what exact time it was, and had a very painful migraine going, and I was so sleepy but awake. So I ended up sleeping more after that, fitfully, unpleasant, and woke around 5 something and took Excedrin. Then laid down and slept and drempt and got woken up before 7 when someone said something to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I can function but hurt a bit, feel icky, and everything gets to me eventually, sooner than later. Light is anathema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I took Eletriptan yesterday. I am not taking it today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You see tomorrow could be worse, or some other day this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yesterday I was so tired all day, it was a horrible day, even using Eletriptan, it wasn’t as good yesterday as the other day I used it in the last month, when it really worked and worked better than Sumatriptan and the effects wore off and I felt fine after an hour or so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But yesterday, I never felt fine, never felt over the migraine, it was always there beating me up under the surface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every freaking day for over a week I have them knocking on my door. I have never invited them. I don’t want them here. I hate them. I have no power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am weak and miserable and la la la la la. I just want to not have this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
